Just found this post Mike - did you sort it? If you haven't I've now got one!

Part way through making it, do you have a spare...?

No spare - what I meant was that I've now got a burner if you want the details! I'll take some photos and dimensions and post them.

OK! 
I have the dimentions, just thought you had a spare and wanted to part with it!

For reference purposes only I'm posting the following details:
The dimensions are:
Main body dia - 42mm
Height of main body - 26mm (excluding the wick tubes)
Cap (incorporating the wick tubes and handle) dia - 43mm.
The cap is lipped over the main body by 5mm.
Wick tubes stand 6mm proud of the cap.
Wick tubes are 10mm external and 8mm internal diameter.
The wick tubes are placed 11.5mm apart and 6mm from the edge.
The wick tubes are flush with the inside of the cap (i.e. they do not extend down into the reservoir as most German types do).
The central vent is 2mm in diameter.
The handle (one piece with the cap) is 46mm long, 16.5mm wide at the near end, tapering to 15mm half-way aong, then broadening to a 19mm diameter cicle at the furthest end.
The handle is slightly 'dished' for style and better grip.
If I've missed any vital statistics, just ask and I'll get the vernier calipers out again!
Suggestions:
The main problems encountered in using this burner are filling and venting. It may be possible to make the cap a screwed or push fit onto the main body to make filling easier without adversely effecting the appearance. Alternatively, the creation of a seperate screw filler cap incorporating a vent hole would increase safety and convenience!
